Gluten-Free Feijoa Cake Recipe

A gluten-free feijoa cake is a type of cake that is made without gluten-containing ingredients. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and their derivatives.

People with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or those choosing to follow a gluten-free diet for other reasons avoid consuming gluten as it can cause adverse health effects for them.

I prefer one-bowl recipes, and that’s how I made this one. We recommend adding the ingredients in the order listed. I used organic raw rapadura sugar, so it doesn’t have to be fine to create a light, fluffy cake.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of mashed ripe feijoa
• 1/3 cup of melted butter or coconut oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup of brown rice flour
• 1/2 cup almond meal or ground almonds
• 2 Tablespoons Tapioca flour
• 2 teaspoons of GF baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sugar

Method

The outcome always depends on your oven, so use the skewer test. Since it’s a relatively small cake, grease one of your smaller tins. Let it cool until it’s cool enough to handle. Both of my cakes just slid out of my old-school, non-non-stick greased cake tins after running a knife around them.
